Do the same for c142 and c147 located on the big board! C142 is to be replaced with new capacitor 4.7 Uf 25 volt and c147 is to be replaced with 10uf 50 volt.
Super small
Bend and cut the legs into feet like the one below
Yeah like the pic says... I screwed up and ripped off the copper lead rushing, so I took a probe and scratched the green coating off the board so that I could have a new spot to solder
Looks great and doesn't flicker anymore, cold or hot! I hope I don't make the dudes that charge hella money on eBay mad... but ****um! half of them charge to much for the service anywaY!
As always I had a blast teaching you somethin' new!
Thank you for reading!

Hi, so Ive got a 94 LS400, I really like it, but the gauges console is often completely black when I start the car and then flickers to lit when it wants, usually 1-5minutes after being on. What are the best options to do this, because getting a whole new panel is quoted at $500.
So I tried to fix this myself. Was able to solder things fine. However when I soldered c212 I didn't put it in an angle and when I tried to put the cover back on it seems I ripped the cap and the contacts out, as you can see in the picture. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this giant f*#@ up.
I am going to the junkyard this weekend and hope I can find a 93/94 with the cluster still in it.

You are not going to find a cluster from a junk yard, I can assure you. Your best bet is to find a contact point using amp-meter and re-solder. Cluster is a surface mount so the soldering is not an easy work.
okay so i just started learning this soldering thing and this post did wonders for me especially with the photos and opened up possibilities i never thought possible. any way i wanted to make clear that the area for these capacitors are not through hole then? and if i wanted to make a new spot to solder like you have how do i know where to make a new spot?
I had the same problem with my cluster going black for a few seconds 45 to 60. Replaced the caps on both boards,1994 LS400, great fix. Yes their are clusters to find. I got one at Pull place for a 1994 LS400. Got it for the needles, pointers on my were going dim. Only paid $27.78 plus tax. I guess I was Lucky to find one, just keep looking.Oh by the way replacing Caps Will fix many other cluster problems, gas gauge, speedo, lights around the interior of car, many more to list. Try it you will be Happy With the results!!!!!! Dont forget the transistor 109.Change it to.
Above those costs less than $2 totally. The shipping cost may be more than that. I recommend you to change the ECU capacitors if not done yet buying all capacitors for it too at the same time.
